rauchbier (2874), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England Aug 10, 2003 Cask, GBBF2003. Brown black, moderate beige head, low condition. Phenolic smoke aromas mingled with coffee and chocolate. More smooth chocolate in the mouth with a gentle suggestion of smoke. Finish is sweet with a hint of coffee and some smoke still lingering.
LyndaNova (469), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jun 15, 2007 Cold on tap: Pours a dark brown color with a medium creamy light tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts, smoke and coffee. Taste is of roasted malts with earthy hops and coffee. Watery texture and smooth with ample carbonation. Ending is of roasted malts with notes of earth and cofee. eaglefan538 (2079), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Oct 6, 2006 Poured a brown, dark-brown color with a tan head, very small bubbles. The lacing was decent on the way down and the aroma very mocha-like with a charcoal smokey touch. Flavor was much the same with some roasted malts showing up behind the smoke flavor. A very well done smoked beer, this was a smooth drinker, perhaps my favorite of the ABC stop. argo0 (6231), Washington DC, USA Nov 15, 2005 Clear red-black body with beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, smoked, some chocolate. Taste is medium sweet, smoke, some caramel, chocolate, roast. Watery light-medium body with low carbonation. Eyedrinkale (3111), Beer Town, New York, USA Aug 21, 2005 Aroma is more grainy then smoky with some nice, bitter chocolate. Taste jumps at you right away. Full on bitterness and roasty smokiness. There’s a bit of creamy butter going on as well that’s not so appealing. ChazyRPh (571), Chazy, New York, USA Aug 20, 2005 on tap at the brewpub...garnet red pour with creamy beige head. Smokey aroma, smoked malt flavors. Burnt malt also. very nice flavor. Hop presence muted, overall nice to drink.
